I was just thinking about how most people been hearing America is the number 1 country in the world since they were born. I don't know who the media will blame, but some will start stroking fear.
The average person might not care in the beginning, but once media, and politician starts making people fear I feel people are going to start looking for a "strong man" to save them.
Look at the UK. It's not like the US is ever going to become completely irrelevant (barring it actually breaking apart). It will still be a powerful, globally significant nation with a massive population, huge and varied supply of natural resources, and powerful military. It'll remain a cultural hub. It just won't be a dominant hegemon able to exert its power at will anywhere that doesn't border China or Russia.

That's a cool metaphor but tbh I don't exactly get what it means as a response to my comment

So we'll be TERF mainland then?
oh god I hope not
honestly I don't think so, the UK is so much more transphobic than the US
More like their center-left is so much more transphobic. Americans freak OUT over trans people
That center left/centrist difference is significant, though.
